Not sure what that is but as for myself being stationed in Europe just two years ago what I can tell you is... The good news is im sure you wont have a hard time selling ur car over there on base. But if you buy a european spec car, good luck trying to bring that back to the states. But if u plan on selling it before you come back then i guess it will work out for ya.

Looks like a Pontiac G8 to me. Cause they are cousins. Both based on the Holden Comodore ,that has a connection to our own Camaros.....Awesome car by the way...

It's a Vauxhaul VXR8. Shares the same GM Zeta platform as the Holden Commodore, Chevy Caprice, and Pontiac G8.

WHY? I am sure your Camaro SS is more unique there in Germany and Stevie Wonder can see that it is a much better looking car!

Unless you need a 4 door car with more rear seat room, I definitely keep the Camaro SS.

A G8 GXP might be another good choice for you if you're looking for a 4 door sedan.

none of these G8s come with a manual transmission.. this Vauxhall does though.. id rather have a unique to the US car than get a G8.. cause people will be confused what it is if they have never seen it.. like seeing a Nissan Skyline R34.... you dont believe what you see as it blasts by you lol
